Hey, I hope you're OK. Just wanted to tell you, with my 1st pregnancy I had light bleeding on and off a lot from approximately week 10 - 15. Around week 11/12 it got really heavy (like a very heavy period) and I spent a night in hospital convinced it was all over. But it turned out fine, settled down, I didn't lose the baby, all bleeding stopped by about week 15 and rest of the pregnancy was completely normal & uneventful. 2nd and 3rd pregnancy, no bleeding at all. Never got an explanation of what happened, doctor said it might have been a low placenta moving higher and shedding unnecessary material. No-one really knew. But what I did learn is apparently early bleeding is really really common and very often everything still works out fine. The weird thing is, unless you actually experience this, no-one talks about it much, which makes it particularly worrying when it happens to you. X

I'm 9 weeks pregnant. Went to doctor yesterday and found blood behind baby. Was gushing light pink blood turned to light red now today its dark red and cramping like period cramps. I was put on bed rest until my next appointment next week. I've had a miscarriage before. I also have 3 other children. I'm afraid I'm miscarrying again.... I'm so scared.....

I had bleeding at 15, 19 and 23 weeks. I was terrified at the time but my baby was fine. He's almost 12 weeks old now. My 23 week bleed was terrible and I was in hospital for around a week and given steroids to prepare for him being born early. I had a 9lb 9oz baby boy at 37 weeks. I was told as long as your not filling a pad with bright red blood every 20-30 mins you are usually fine. Hope all settles down for you.
